Eastman Optifilm™ enhancer 400 is a very low VOC, low odor coalescent that is compatible with a variety of latex types. It is an efficient coalescent that aids in the development of latex paints that have a good balance of performance properties. Eastman Optifilm™ enhancer 400 delivers excellent film integrity, touch-up properties, and scrub resistance, even at the lowest VOCs content. Paints prepared with Eastman Optifilm™ enhancer 400 have also demonstrated good exterior durability after one year exposure. It can also be blended with other coalescents such as Texanol™ Ester Alcohol or Eastman™ EEH glycol ether to further optimize the balance of low VOC content and paint performance.
